Death of One of the Leading Manu-
facturers of Maine.

LEWISTON, Nov. 2.-Mr. e. f. Packard of
Auburn, died suddenly, of heart disease, to q.
day. Mr.. Packard was born in Buckfeld,
and was the son of EliphaletsP P Packard, one
of the prominent business men !of that sec
tion. He was well educated, and was fitted
for Bowdoin College, which he entered, re-
naming there for two years, i'll health COM
pelling him to leave.
Mr.. Packard left Bowdoin College at the
age of % years. He was at that time in poor
health, and unable to begin professional
life On the 1st day of May, 1S47, he formed
a co-partnership with Jacob H. ROak and
Samuel Pickard, for the manufacture of
boots, in Auburn. They had wooden shop
about 40 feet square and two and One-half
stories high, on the present site of Phoenix
Block. That was the only factory in Au-
burn at the time, except the shop of MunrOe
& Co., at West Auburn.
In 1853. Mr.. Packard purchased Mr. Roak's
interest. La 1864, Mr.. B. f. Briggs. with
ated up to the close of his business, went in
TO the firm, and its style was changed to E.
+. Packard & Co.
E. f. Packard & Co. remained in their
quarters until the fall of 1873, when they
built their big shop in Railroad Square, and
moved into it.. Their business was so heavy
at this point that their old rooms of manu-
facture were inadequate. From 1866 to 1873.
the business was very profitable. Mr.. Pack.
ard, during his life, said that there was not a
year in the thirty-ive that he was in bust
ness that the shoe firm in which he was did
not make money in spite of all losses Those
thirty-fve years included the war.
Mr.. Packard was for years director of
the First National Bank of Lewiston. sue
ceeding Hon. A. ID. Lockwood as president
of the bank in 1872, hichposition he has
since held. He was president of the An
droscoggin County Savings Bank in Lewis

HOPE FOR MARYLAND.
The Reform Party's Prospects Not
Discouraging Despite Corman's Ef-
forts.

WASHINGTON, Nov. lit is undeniable
that the Maryland Reform Democrats" are
not in as good form as they were month
ago. The Baltimore election "hath rather
dashed their spirits" But they have not
given up the fight yet. 1t is now transferred
to the State at large, and will be fought out
next week. Aside from the prevalence of
reform sentiment, the chief hope of the Re-
publicans and Independent Democrats lies
in the fact that the knights Of Labor are
bitterly opposed to the Democratic candidate
for governor, Mr.. Jackson. The Republican
candidate, Mr.. Brooks, is strong and an ex-
ceptionable man, and he will doubtless poll
very large vote. 1t remains to be seen
whether these conditions will be sufficient to
overcome the natural Democratic majority in
the State.
The German ring men are working like
beavers to secure victory. They have all the
electoral machinery in their hands, and they
are adopts at all the tricks of politics, and
they have made many soothing and seduc-
tive promises to the people. They engage, if
victorious, TO provide an improved and an
nual registration for the city of Baltimore,
which it sorely needs; but few think that
this promise is intended to be fulfilled. On
the contrary, it is believed that the first
thing the GOrmanites would do if retained
In power, would be to get rid of the present
excellent courts, which have so helped on
the cause Of reform this year. They showed
their anlmuS by throwing every possible de-
lay in the way of the courts operations last
month, and it is hardly supposable that they
would fail to take every measure which sug-
gests itself for continuing themselves in
power. Still, there Is some chance yet re-
naming for reform victery in Maryland
next week.
